Prepare for early days and late nights.
- Here’s a pro tip for surviving the 2019 SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual Conference in the morning: board the complimentary shuttle bus to the Orange County Convention Center early to avoid long wait times. Doing so allows you to get to the best breakfast options and grab the best seats at the SAP keynote!
- After the long days of learning, be on the lookout for food and fun! There are always tasty appetizers and specialty drinks towards the end of the day in the vendor area. Drop by to enjoy free rewards for attending the premier SAP conference of the year.
- Don’t want to stay in your hotel room? Hunt for after-hours parties that will provide you with amazing bites and networking. Not only are they a great way to make work trip fun, but they also give you the chance to expand your social horizons. In fact, we are hosting an island style party at Bahama Breeze in Orlando exclusive to SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual conference attendees. RSVP now before we run out of tickets.
Prep your mind, body, and soul.
- Get in those steps now! Start walking long distances now during your work breaks to get used to being on your feet for eight or more hours.
- Take bathroom breaks when you can to avoid herds of attendees lining up for the restroom.
- There’s a variety of food in the morning at the conference’s continental breakfast. Be sure to fuel up on caffeine with their coffee offerings.
Pack smart.
- Make sure you pack a good pair of shoes to help you get from sessions to vendor booths to the dining area. The Orange County Convention Center is a vast building that might take a toll on your feet if you don’t have comfortable shoes to walk in.
- Leave some space in your suitcase to bring documents and tchotchkes home for you and your family. In the past, vendors provided stress balls, electronics, and raffle prizes to those who visit their booths.
- Bring your pain-relieving/anti-inflammatory pills and medication, just in case you want to soothe a migraine or relieve tired muscles.
